My `95 Coupe veers heavily to the right on the initial application of the brakes, (disconcerting, especially in the wet) but then pulls up in a straight line after the inital application. Have had calipers checked and all are moving freely, brake pipes checked clear, 4 wheel alignment, suspension geometry checked, tire pressures Ok but it still does it.
Has anyone else had this problem or anything else to check?, I`ve ran out of things to check!

Thanks in anticipation

Hi

No matter what they have checked, you still have a problem with the left hand side of the vehicle. If you are adamant that the calipers are ok (taking into acount you havnt specified what millage the vehicle has covered) I would try changing by fron flexi hoses. I have found that the insides can deteriate. A bit like arteries that get blocked by cholestral. Try that and it should sort your problem.

Assuming everything else is as it should.

Thanks Andy,
The car has done just under 80,000 miles. I`ll try changing the hoses as these are relatively inexpensive.
